Virginia won its first-ever outright ACC Men's Outdoor Track & Field Championship this week in Atlanta.
For the first time in program history, Virginia won the outright ACC Outdoor Men's Track & Field Championship. 15 years after sharing the conference title with Florida State in 2009, which was the only other time they claimed even a share of the ACC crown, the Cavaliers won the championship all to themselves, holding off rival Virginia Tech by 4.
On the final day of competition on Saturday, Gary Martin and Wes Porter placed second and third, respectively, in the men's 1500m. Martin finished in 3:40.87 with Porter behind him in 3:42.13, earning two critical podium finishes for the Cavaliers. Meanwhile, Will Anthony followed up his silver in the 10,000m with a bronze in the 5000m, finishing third in 13:40.17. Shane Cohen posted yet another podium finish for Virginia, taking bronze in the 800m with a personal record of 1:46.89 thanks to a late surge in the final 100 meters.
The Virginia women had a great showing in Atlanta as well. Margot Appleton captured her second-straight women's 1500m title with a finish of 4:11.04, three seconds faster than her title run in 2023. Appleton became the first Cavalier to ever win the 1500m title in consecutive seasons and then took bronze in the 5000m, finishing in 15:36.95.
